    ‘Absolute heaven.’ Jilly Cooper 
    A hilarious and heartfelt year following one woman and her puppy – from chaos and tears to healing and new beginnings. It’s a love story, but not as you know it.  
    Raising a puppy is simple: feed them, walk them, love them. Right? Wrong. 
    Armed with Pinterest-perfect plans and firm ideas about training, Sophia brings Dennis – a scruffy and defiant Parson terrier – into her life. But just as the puppy pads hit the floor, the rest of her world falls apart. 
    Suddenly single and quietly unravelling, Sophia finds herself solo parenting a tiny, gleeful agent of chaos who devours foam earplugs, destroys her shoes, and has an alarming taste for spiders. He’s also the only thing keeping her afloat. 
    As the months roll by in a haze of dodgy first dates, sleepless nights and meltdowns in the park, Sophia begins to make sense of it all: the grief of a life that didn’t go to plan, the weirdness of being single in your late thirties, and the surprising ways love shows up when you least expect it. 
    By the end of their first year together, Dennis hasn’t just wrecked the furniture — he’s quietly rebuilt her life. 
    For anyone who’s ever been through shattering heartbreak, this is a story of quiet resilience, unpredictable joy, and the quiet wonder of a small body curled beside you when it matters most.  
    Sophia Money-Coutts The Year of the Dog is a top pick for anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and the healing power of pets. This autobiography is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of friendship and family.

    The Art of Permaculture -...

    Permaculture is more than just a gardening method; it is a holistic design system that seeks to mimic the natural world to create sustainable, resilient, and productive environments. At its core, permaculture is grounded in principles that prioritize ecological balance, efficient use of resources, and long-term sustainability. It offers an alternative approach to conventional agriculture and landscaping by encouraging the creation of self-sustaining ecosystems that require minimal input from external resources. 
    The term "permaculture" is derived from a combination of “permanent” and “agriculture,” though it has since evolved to encompass more than just agricultural practices. Permaculture is a design philosophy that aims to create systems that are not only ecologically sound but also socially and economically sustainable. It is a system of ethics and principles that can be applied to all areas of life, from food production and energy systems to community building and even urban planning. 
    One of the key tenets of permaculture is the concept of working with nature rather than against it. This means observing the natural systems around us—how water flows, how plants interact with each other, and how animals move within their environment—and designing systems that work in harmony with these natural patterns. By doing so, permaculture seeks to reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and minimize human impact on the planet.

    Bridget Jones meets AJ Jacobs in Wellmania, an in-depth, laugh-out-loud exploration of the best and worst of the wellness industry. 
     
     
     
    Cold-pressed juices, "clean" eating, colonic vacations, mindfulness apps, and Paleo: health-care trends and miracle diets seem to be more plentiful each year. But do any of these tactics actually work? What does "wellness" even mean? 
     
     
     
    In Wellmania, longtime journalist Brigid Delaney tackles the good, the bad, and the just-a-little-ridiculous of the wellness industry, using herself as the guinea pig. Starting with a brutal 101-day fast, she leaves behind her thirty-something-year-old lifestyle of late-night parties and all-day hangovers to test the things that are supposed to make us healthy and whole: yoga classes, meditation, CBT, Balinese healing, silent retreats, group psychotherapy, and more. Writing with self-deprecating wit and refreshing honesty, she sorts through the fads and expensive hype to find out what actually works, while asking, What does all this say about us? Is total wellness even possible? And why do you start to smell so bad when you haven't eaten in seven days? According to comedian Judith Lucy, the result is "bloody entertaining" and "leaves you wondering whether you want to do yoga or get mindlessly drunk and despair at the state of the world."
